A Soft Rain!

I love a soft rainy day. I know I go on and on about summer and sunny days, but there is just something wonderful about a summer rainy day. Rain in the summer is a sensory explosion. If you don't mind getting a little wet, venture out and smell the air... Wow! it smells so fresh and clean. The greens look greener,

the flowers are all dripping with crystal droplets.

Every few minutes the sky rumbles with gentle thunder. Just when you don't think it can get any better the sun shines through, and brings you a magical rainbow.

Beautiful!
